Love Neglected

Fast tracking it in his Mercedes Benz
He picks up the call on his cell phone
His wife says: "You gotta come home now
I need to talk to you alone."
He says: "I'd like to but I'm way too busy."
Silence, then a voice says: "I'm dying!"
The words slow his life in an instant
He crumples broken and crying

(It's sad!) It's sad when a love neglected
(It's sad!) Comes sharply into focus.
(So sad!) Only when the light is fading
(So sad!) And we're grasping for hope in the darkness

She was young and oh so beautiful
All the cars would stop, so guys could see her
Her bible's tossed into a dresser
The rosary decorates the rear view mirror
She sneaks out at night, she likes to party
She tried to drive when she could barely see
She was the apple of her father's eye
Why, oh, why did she have to die?

(It's sad!) It's sad when a love neglected
(It's sad!) Comes sharply into focus.
(So sad!) Only when the light is fading
(So sad!) And we're grasping for hope in the darkness

Don't you see? It could easily be me
Who loses touch and neglects your love
If we could relive choices
That have slipped right through our fingers
God help us, show us today
How to love along the way

(It's sad!) It's sad when a love neglected
(It's sad!) Comes sharply into focus.
(So sad!) Only when the light is fading
(So sad!) And we're grasping for hope in the darkness

(It's sad!) It's sad when a love neglected
(It's sad!) Comes sharply into focus.
(So sad!) Only when the light is fading
(So sad!) And we're grasping for hope in the darkness

Fast tracking it in his Mercedes Benz
He picks up the call on his cell phone
